My original comment went where comments go to die, it seems, so here's another try:

Generally, that is the way to go for me as well.
But the replaying thing… well, it would be far from me to replay a game immediately after I have finished it for the first time. However, there are certain comfort blanket-like games I return to once every few years, simply because it feels good doing so. (More often…

Basically, howlongtobeat.com has become a fixture in my gaming vita. I have a GoogleDoc in which I write down titles from my backlog (not all of them, mind you) in a vague hierarchy of "this does interest me a bit", paired with the time they are going to take me to finish, according to hltb. Games that are around 5-6…

A little anecdote there: People say that the first "Thief"-game was inspiring horror so much partly because the penalty for dying — abyssimal loading times — was really making you feel miserable. It would be a stretch to say that this was so by design, but, yeah… you will never be able to play the game the same way…

That reminds me of my first gaming System ever (after Nintendo Game&Watch, anyway): My parents, ever the lovely scrimpers, made sure that we would always stay behind the wave of current tech by at least one generation. So when all my friends got an NES, I got a Commodore 64/128-combo, undoubtely bought second-hand…

The Magical Realms of Tír na nÓg: Escape from Necron 7 – Revenge of Cuchulainn: The Official Game of the Movie – Chapter 2 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa.

Almost surprised that in the "Game I'll still be playing at this time next year" category, there was no Roguelike/lite nominated, considering that they were such a big deal this year. (My nominee would, incidentally, be "Spelunky HD" — even though I had played the free version lots and lots before, the daily challenge…

You know, just today in the "Tech" section of this country's most popular free newspaper, they wrote about "!The Four Tech Trends of 2014! (!)".

I am quite irrationally upset that PopCap made it an XBox exclusive. I think there is nothing wrong with either one of us — people who can't enjoy Peggle are dead inside, anyway.

Have you seen that a new "in-between episode" called The Entertainment was released about two weeks ago? (It's not on the Steam version of the game, but you can download it on the dev's website.) The last time they did this with Limits and Demonstrations, the next "regular" part was released shortly after. So while,…

That will maybe come as a surprise to you, but there is a noble tradition of games dealing with this all-too-human, dare I even say, existential issue.
I can't personally vouch for Don't Shit Your Pants, but Icarus Proudbottom In: The Curse of The Chocolate Fountain is very well worth your time.

Except against the fence. Very uncomfortable, she was definitely not ok there.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Behold The Power of The Next Generation!

"All rolled into one, it’s like a party with old friends, a long-lost 1960s variety show, the wild visions of a tipsy Jim Henson, and, best of all, a video game."

For me, Zelda II will always have a special place in my heart. It was just the right time for it… we were a bunch of kids living in a village that made Kakariko look like a metropolis, and for a reason I still can't fathom, there were three among us who bought the game independently in a photo shop in the town nearby.…

I mean, Hyrule?! Pleeeeeaaaase! More like Lorule, amirite?

It's an uphill battle, for sure. But the comments in the Knack review actually looked hopeful. There is even somebody who was convinced to rephrase his insubstantial first post as a Good Point(TM)! Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
